As stated above - socket 80 is not in use (according to netstat). If there was, "apache2 -f /etc/apache2/httpd.conf" would also fail, would it not? > Do a "ps -A | grep apache" and see if a stray daemon is > running around...

Again, if the config was broken then I'd expect # apache2 -f /etc/apache2/httpd.conf to also fail. I'd say the problem is related to how the gentoo stuff starts the daemon, or maybe conf.d/apache2, but nothing below looks unusual to me; rix apache2 # grep ^[^#] /etc/conf.d/apache2 APACHE2_OPTS="-D DEFAULT_VHOST -D INFO -D LANGUAGE -D SSL -D SSL_DEFAULT_VHOST -D PHP5" CONFIGFILE=/etc/apache2/httpd.conf
